constantly tweaking


Every palette I’ve ever owned soon gets tweaked a bit. Always. So why should my CMYK palette be any different? I know the whole idea is to mix all colors from the original 4, but sometimes I want to get to a lovely neutral quickly — so I replaced the large mixing pan with standard and double pans, then added monte amiata natural sienna and transparent red oxide.

I borrowed this style of testing colors from Austin artist Lisa Spangler — a quick yet efficient way to see what other colors I can make. I love Lisa’s idea of making a folded card of these color tests to carry along in a sketch kit!
